See Appendix A, "Fabric Watch commands," for a list of the Fabric Watch commands you can use to customize your configuration. Configuring Fabric Watch thresholds enables you to define your own unique event conditions (such as threshold traits, alarms, and e-mail configuration). It is unlikely, for example, that you would need to change the default values for the Environment class because the hardware has been tested. However, if you anticipate a need for additional notifications, or you need to better gauge performance because of noticeable congestion on certain ports, you might want to configure the values for some thresholds. Both the factory default and user-customized Fabric Watch settings are individually maintained. You cannot change the default values. During Fabric Watch configuration, you can select whether Fabric Watch should use the default or custom settings for monitoring. Use the following commands to switch between default and custom values: • fwSetToCustom Sets the boundary and alarm level to custom. • fwSetToDefault Restores the boundary and alarm level to the default.

Fabric Watch configuration
You can create custom threshold configurations to suit your unique environment. See
Appendix A,
“Fabric Watch commands,”
for a list of the Fabric Watch commands you can use to customize your
configuration.
Configuring Fabric Watch thresholds enables you to define your own unique event conditions (such
as threshold traits, alarms, and e-mail configuration). It is unlikely, for example, that you would
need to change the default values for the Environment class because the hardware has been
tested. However, if you anticipate a need for additional notifications, or you need to better gauge
performance because of noticeable congestion on certain ports, you might want to configure the
values for some thresholds.
Both the factory default and user-customized Fabric Watch settings are individually maintained.
You cannot change the default values. During Fabric Watch configuration, you can select whether
Fabric Watch should use the default or custom settings for monitoring.
Use the following commands to switch between default and custom values:
•
fwSetToCustom
Sets the boundary and alarm level to custom.
•
fwSetToDefault
Restores the boundary and alarm level to the default.
